MegaETH’s USDm stablecoin pre-deposit launch hits ‘turbulence’ amid outages and cap flip-flops

2025/11/26 02:30

MegaETH's rollout of pre-deposits for its USDm stablecoin on Tuesday descended into confusion, as outages, rapid-fire cap changes, and a misconfigured multisig transaction triggered an unexpected early reopening of deposits, forcing the team to walk back plans for a $1 billion limit.

The event was set to begin at 9 a.m. ET with a $250 million cap, but the project’s third-party bridge provider went down almost immediately, leaving users unable to access the site for close to an hour.

Once service resumed, the entire $250 million filled in under three minutes, prompting MegaETH to announce it would raise the limit to $1 billion to give more users access to USDm on day one.

A timeline reconstructed on X by the pseudonymous analyst 'olimpio' shows that the team’s multisig queued the cap-increase transaction with a 4-of-4 signature threshold instead of the intended 3-of-4. That error made the transaction executable by anyone, and it was executed roughly 34 minutes early, reopening deposits before MegaETH planned to relaunch the bridge.

Deposits surged again, quickly surpassing $400 million as MegaETH attempted to re-establish a limit. The team first tried to reset the cap to $400 million, then to $500 million after deposits exceeded the lower threshold.

A second $1 billion cap-increase transaction briefly appeared in the multisig queue, according to olimpio, but by late morning, MegaETH said it would no longer pursue the expansion. It added that it would introduce a withdrawal option for users who no longer wish to participate following the chaotic rollout.

"We've encountered unexpected issues throughout the process and are no longer moving forward with the $1 billion cap," the team wrote. "We will be sharing a retro shortly. Apologies for the turbulence."

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
